Longtemps oublié, voire condamné, le roman picaresque retrouve des couleurs avec notre époque. Et pour cause ! Le héros, transbordé d’une situation à l’autre, découvrant des lieux bizarroïdes, des situations improbables, nous entraîne dans un maelstrom au cœur duquel nous aurons notre mot à dire ! À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Auteur reconnu pour ses récits, John R. Glastod propose au lecteur ce nouvel ouvrage d’une forte empreinte : une chronique échevelée, picaresque, zigzaguant des Champs-Élysées au Japon, des sous-bois aux cuisines équipées, peuplée de contemporains plus vrais que nature.

The publication of the King James version of the Bible, translated between 1603 and 1611, coincided with an extraordinary flowering of English literature and is universally acknowledged as the greatest influence on English-language literature in history. Now, world-class literary writers introduce the book of the King James Bible in a series of beautifully designed, small-format volumes. The introducers' passionate, provocative, and personal engagements with the spirituality and the language of the text make the Bible come alive as a stunning work of literature and remind us of its overwhelming contemporary relevance.

With references to the Bible and 17th-century Dutch still-life painting, Vanitas links the works of fourteen contemporary artists to the age-old theme of life's transience. At the same time, it presents these artists in their 20th-century context while exploring the related themes of beauty and death, pleasure and fear, love and loss. The book focuses on contemporary sculpture and installation art using non-traditional forms, materials, and processes. The artists included--from Warsaw, Paris, New York, London, Sao Paulo--are Miroslaw Balka, Chris Boltanski, Willie Cole, Leonardo Drew, Tony Feher, Robert Gober, Felix Gonzalez, Mona Hatoum, Jim Hodges, Anish Kapoor, Jac Lairner, Zoe Leonard, Gabriel Orozco, Rachel Whiteread, and Yukinori Yanagi.
